A Not So Royal Christmas follows a conventional romantic comedy structure, using a mistaken identity framework to drive its plot. The story prioritizes situational humor and genre clichés over any significant social or systemic critique. The film reinforces established social hierarchies rather than challenging them. By focusing on preserving aristocratic image and status, the narrative remains within the bounds of traditional, straight-centered storytelling. Ultimately, the production lacks complexity in reflecting multiple aspects of identity. It functions as a standard genre piece that leans heavily on Eurocentric notions of nobility and class.
